LAKEWOOD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — A man who was involved in a brawl at a southern New Jersey concert venue later stabbed the other combatant after he saw him walking down a street, according to police.

Lakewood police told The Star-Ledger that 21-year-old Manuel Ramirez, of Freehold, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and several weapons counts stemming from the attack, which occurred early Saturday.

The victim, whose name was not released, suffered several stab wounds to the chest, abdomen, face and back. He rushed to an area hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

Authorities did not say what sparked the brawl, which ended with both men being thrown out of the venue.

Ramirez was being held on $250,000 cash bail, and it was not known if he had retained a lawyer.
